Your questions about grease filter exchange in Padworth
Who is the fire and rescue service for Padworth?
Fire safety enforcement in Padworth is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Padworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Padworth is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Grease filter exchange in Padworth, done properly
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Padworth, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. Common call-outs are for filter washing that keeps being missed and weak extraction at the canopy, across restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Padworth, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Padworth
Managing agents and facilities teams in Padworth
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Padworth, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. If the system at a site near Padworth fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Padworth
In Padworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. About 44 miles out from central London, Padworth is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Padworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
